I'm willing to add anyone who sends me an add request, however, my policy is 
two things.

1.  I'll get to know you via text chatitng first before I accept your request.  
You know, just kind a drill ya a bit, to see if you really are legit.

2.  If you send me an add request, but you just use the standard "Hi 
Twinklesfriend2007." (By the way, that's my Skype name for those who do! wanna 
add me.) "I'd like to add you on Skype," messages, you'll automatically get 
denied regardless.  The least you can do, is tell me where, if anywhere 
specifically you know me from.  Is it really that hard to edit that message 
before sending the request?

Finally, I do ask people please not to send me a video call request to answer 
unless you first chat me via text to see if I am presentable.  I love doing 
video chat, but I might not always be where I can appropriately start my webcam.

And yes, I always do the same in return.

Chris.

  That's what I was going to suggest. As for the chat bots, unfortunately, 
they're still around, but not as much as they once were. I quickly pick up on 
that worn out scheme of them pretending to want to talk and get to know me, 
only to quickly direct me to some supposed web cam site that they say only 
wants your credit card info for age verification. I believe that nothing good 
would come out of entering their sites. They might be infected with malware, 
they might trick you into agreeing to a recurring subscription that bills if 
you don't cancel, or they might be out-right collecting card info so they can 
drain your account by using it elsewhere.

    Could it possibly be that the person was set to invisible, so even though 
they were online, you'd not know it?

      If the skype's API is now defunked unless someone is using a cron job I 
don't see how they could do this. I'm not doubting, I am how ever trying to 
think outside the box.  


      Take care.

        Well it wouldn’t need to exist for just anyone. Or it could be just a 
vanilla chat bot that can interface with the IM program of your choice.

        I've messaged people when I was off line, except I was not off line. I 
was invisible. Yeah it looks liek a spammer. There is no way a scheduear exists 
for skype. I've googled for one myself. I think the person had a good sence of 
time.
        Take care.

          Hi list, ken here.  a strange one the other day a person wanted to 
add me as contact and I did but at about 2 hours apart for each this person 
messaged me with things like hey there or hello and in each case the person was 
offline.  these messages again all happened at about two hour intervles how can 
someone message you if they aren’t online line.  it’s as if the person had 
their skype set automaticly to message people every two hours.  removed them 
from contacts do to suspicious activity.  was this some kind of a 
spammer/stalker/sexual type?
